But I was the first to ***** about putting any money into parts for my bike. Well, **** all that! Aftermarket clip-ons, MSR or Moose clutch lever, raidal master for the handbrake, Full Throttle handbrake foot master, tyger shark cage (nothing takes a beating like it), and a good front end makes a world of difference. I still ride booty *** take off tires, I still have blown forks (fucin inverted pos 1000rr blows every month!) and my radiator still leaks. But after spending money on the parts that don't break I can't say enough about how easy it is to ride for hours on end. No fatigue, no worry about **** going wrong, just charging hard as possible knowing the bike and parts can take it. People always ask me here around vegas whats the cheapest way to setup a bike, pull off some janky *** **** and struggle. We're talking about 300 more dollars to have a perfect setup VS what you're going to spend to have some booty *** bullshit that may or may not work as well as it should. I'm a cheap ***, but after spending the money for the right parts I can say it's perhaps the best money I've spent all year. Setup is key, I picked up at least 10 new tricks, cleaned up the ones I had, and it's so easy after I set the bike up correctly with the right parts.

Re: setup is everything?
I dono if i agree. You can only make things soooo easy on yourself before it becomes boring. The bike does not make the rider. E-dub and the famous f3 was an example of that. Hell i rode the most clapped out p.o.s f4 and it didn't hold me back any. So if your theroy is correct i should be able to bolt on a 1000rr front end and roll 500 foot + stoppies ? And since E-dub rode a shitty bike he must have sucked, and since kane rides one of the smoothest bikes ever made he must be a smooth rider, and since i ride a gsxr i must be just plain stupid, and Darius rides an f4i so he is just like everyone else ?

Nickkk I was a little skeered, as long as your on a piece of crap i have a chance. You ride a minty bike i have no hope.. I think the point your trying to get across is MAINTAIN YOUR **** !! not that your bike will make you a better rider.. I think somone ripped the matainence section out of my owners manual.. Actually who am i kidding i just never read it.
